Thanks! first of all, you do NOT want to measure by drops... go either by weight (in grams) or by volume (in ml.) Figure the cost per unit of the eo. ie, if you pay $xxx.xx for a liter of ....whatever... then figure your cost per ml. measure by ml's and you'll have your cost for the bottle of blend...or the bottle of pure eo. now... figure what you have to ADD to the cost of the oil in the bottle: the bottle the label a %age of the rent for the space you are in. your postage, heat/AC, water bill, all other utilities your salary your phone bill and computer insurance etc etc etc etc... that needs to be a fixed %age of everything you sell (or of everything you BUY...ie, the actual cost of the bottle of whatever that you are pouring from needs to include a %age of all the above). because if you can't cover those costs, then you can't continue doing what you love.
